GEOPHYSICS
We all know that after an earthquake with a high magnitude in any highly seismic area a tsunami that depending on the coastal area produce medium or severe damage will occur. We also have to take into account the origin of the seismic source, it because the impact zones of tsunami impact on its coastline according to the route and direction that has the tsunami.
So the purpose of this entry is to demostrate how the path of the tsunami was caused by the last earthquake in the country of Chile of magnitude 8.2 degrees richter .
This animated video was submitted by the Tsunami Warning Center Pacific .
There were waves of over two meters reached some parts of Chile , where the tsunami alert was maintained for up to six hours. (1)
How do you think can be the impact of tsunami waves on the coastline of a given region ?
